Late Shift

Nurse Floria clocks in for a late shift in a busy but understaffed ward. She attempts to juggle the needs of all her patients and their families - from siblings awaiting news of their seriously-ill mother, to a wealthy patient demanding private care. As the evening wears on, the pressure begins to get to Floria - and a simple but potentially grave error pushes her over the edge.

Leonie Benesch (The Teachers’ Lounge) gives a stellar performance in Petra Volpe’s (The Divine Order) new film. This is a tense, grounded and compassionate look at the reality of modern nursing, which also serves as a passionate plea for all staff and patients to receive the resources and support they deserve.

Berlin International Film Festival, 2025


“A finely-strung hospital drama [...] starring the phenomenal German actor Leonie Benesch which will twang on the nerves of any past, present or future patient, and the hearts of those who owe a debt of gratitude to a nurse.”
Fionnuala Halligan, Screen Daily
